I know this was said quite some time ago, but you're right; Ryan does have a life. One that works all day and barely has any time or energy to talk to other people. Also, the navbar would ordinarily be extremely easy, if you favoured a certain browser. Ryan is doing his best to make the ;ayout accessible in all types of browsers, which is way more complex and definately something you can't do in an hour. As for updates, well, my first sentance kind of sums it up. Ryan is the only coder, and quality contributions are few and far between. If I recall, it always took a SUPER long time for crater to have any updates, so imagine having to start from scratch. The lack of updates are also partially due to the fact that everything except for the plot is going to be secret.

As for whether it's like pokemon crater, that's a completely common misconception you see, because, crater was not something original. In fact, crater was kind of like the actual pokemon games, but a lot less adventurous. So anything that's like crater is like the nintendo games. And dox is being created with the video games in mind. Dox is not like crater.
